 Here in the south west we are blessed with a
stunning coastline, a spectacular ever changing backdrop to long cliff
top walks and romps in the sea and surf. Inland, the surrounding rural
countryside provides a perfect playground of woods, rivers, fields and
farmland.
My love and enthusiasm for this beautiful breed, began like so many others
with the arrival of one tiny bundle of cream fluff. Storm, instantly
stole our hearts and firmly established herself as a much loved and cherished
family pet. She has an abundance of love and willingness to please. She
is gentle, biddable, smart and sassy and utterly adored by all who meet
her. Three and a half years later, “smiley” Reilly joined our
home and all of the above could be equally used to describe her character
and temperament. Both have a strong natural “flushing out” and “retrieving” instinct
particularly in the water, where, as you can see from the photo gallery – they
spend a fair amount of their time!
When Reilly turned two and a half, I decided I’d
like to try my hand at showing and after careful consideration was lucky
enough to secure “pick of the litter” from the Merrick’s
renowned “Stormerick” kennel. On Shiloh’s arrival, the
peace and tranquility of our house was instantly turned up side down! This
feisty, bold, beautiful, platinum blonde, bound into the house like a “Class
A” Diva and determinedly set about winning her way very quickly to
top dog position. Reilly was captivated from the start and the two were
inseparable. Storm studiously ignored her for ten days until she realized
she was to be a permanent fixture in our home and resigned herself gracefully
to being pounced upon, chewed and sharing her bed. How she has made us
laugh with her exuberance and zest for living and much to my delight, she’s
also caught the eye of the occasional judge…… If you like what
